No flash conversion after upload

Specs:
Drupal 5.1
MySql 5
php5
ffmpeg 3:0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu4

Issue:
With 2.2-beta I was able to upload videos, but flash conversion was not taking place during cron runs. I was not receiving errors in the logs of either the flashvideo module or in watchdog. ffmpeg table was empty in the database.

Went to 2.1, with no settings changes and flash conversion would happen at cron run. Now everything works, and i have data in the MySql table.

ffmpeg settings:
use ffmpeg-php to extract video information -unchecked
ffmpeg command: -i @input -f flv -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 64k -ac 1 @output
ffmpeg path: /usr/bin/ffmpeg
delete original video -checked
output directory: files
video default size: 450x337
thumbnail size: 130x100
thumbnail time :02
make thumbnails link: yes
maximum failures: 5
log conversion data -checked
